Jake Paul issues furious response to Carl Froch after beating Mike Tyson

Jake Paul has told Nottinghamshire boxer Carl Froch to "Shut the f*** up" after the British boxer challenged him following his Friday fight against Mike Tyson. The 27 year old American, who is 31 years younger than Tyson, emerged victorious by unanimous decision in the rescheduled match.

The original bout was set for the summer but had to be postponed due to Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up. The 58 year old boxing legend later disclosed that he "almost died" in June.

Froch, 47, retired with a 33-2 record and held several super-middleweight titles during his career. His last fight was in May 2014 when he defeated George Groves at Wembley.

On social media, Froch taunted Paul, saying, "I will tie one arm behind my back and finish you for good," and predicted a "one round demolition job" if Paul were to face him in the ring. However, the American dismissed Froch's challenge, responding, "F***ing sour loser [sic]," and "Shut the f*** up. I've done more in 4 years than you have in your life."

He added, "First and last time I respond to your broke salty ass," and offered Froch a job washing his cars, reports the Mirror.

Some boxing fans defended Froch's record, suggesting Paul might be overconfident. One fan commented, "Froch would absolutely sleep you that's why you would never fight him," while another said, "Kneel when you speak to a hall of famer".

Carl Froch stated of Paul in his video: "He's a huge commodity, he sells tickets, he draws in crowds, people are interested. Netflix, 30 million, come on. 74,000 though at the ATandT (Stadium), not quite 80,000, is it? " Froch continued, "He's not there yet, he's getting there but he's not quite there - he doesn't do the big crowds, does he? But he pulls in the old Bunsen burner [earner], doesn't he, Jake Paul."

"So I don't think he'll hang his gloves up. There will be a plan for Jake Paul, but I'll tell you what - my mobile phone won't be ringing, will it? They won't be sending me an email, they won't be contacting my agent to get a fight, because they know."

"I ain't calling him out, I'm just letting you know that he knows that I f***ing know if I went in there with Jake Paul, it would be an absolute mismatch. One round demolition job."

"I'd even tie one arm behind my back and, just imagine, one arm behind my back, just lining him up with this right hand and eventually leathering him with a big uppercut or a big overhand dirty stinker. Put him in the el sparko position like he's been tasered."
